The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has decided not to appeal a court ruling requiring it to recalculate star ratings for UnitedHealth's Medicare Advantage plans, which could result in significant customer losses for the insurer.

The agency's sudden reversal has raised questions about possible changes in policy by the Trump administration.
